The administrator and all the teachers were very friendly, efficient and professional - and they all appeared to be friends between them. It seemed like we were all one happy family. Also, the afternoon and night activities (city walk, salsa lesson, making pisco sour, conversation class) were great. Also, the teaching material was good. I will probably go there again."

On the top of the building there was a small swimming pool, a sun deck and great views. Also the doormen downstairs were all very nice and polite. The food was good, with lots of fresh fruit."

Negative aspects

"I think the programme was not as structured and demanding as I would have liked. We spent too much time on the same few grammar notions. Also, I thought there would be an evaluation test upon arriving but I was automatically put into a beginner’s class. I had to show what I had done the previous week in another school to be reassigned to a stronger class. Even then, I did not learn much during the week (academically speaking) but I liked the teachers, the group and the discussions so much that I appreciated the experience and really enjoyed my week at Bellavista."

"A huge problem was that none of the teachers spoke any English. Unfortunately, I didn't even speak a word of Spanish, so it actually was impossible to communicate or to convey the language to me. Especially since I was promised that the teachers would speak English. Certainly a good opportunity for more advanced students to improve. For me it was a bit of a waste of money ..."

Positive aspects of school

"Classes and teachers were a lot of fun! Focused on grammar, but because of the group size (four people) and level (intermediate) we also got to practise talking quite a lot and could do everything in Spanish, without translating. I think one of the students was frustrated though (or I'd be if I were him) because he had been at the school for several weeks already and studied at the same level the same material already once. This affected the others too, to some extent at least, there was pressure to advance and not perhaps go so deep into things that were unclear. The number of activities was a really nice bonus!"

"They do a great job of gauging your skills and matching you with a curriculum that works for you. It's obvious they take a personal interest your effort to learn Spanish to make sure you get the most out of your classes. I did a couple weeks of group courses and took a few private lessons as well. I highly recommend the private lessons--they are worth the additional expense because you get more practice and can focus on the things you need to improve most."

"I love Santiago a lot, so I came already back again. The quality of the school is very good, you learn a lot, and you can practice also in the afternoon, they have loads of things going on for free like extra grammar lessons, excursions etc. For me the best school in South America, I also was in schools in Peru and Argentina, but Bellavista hits the top!"
